Dear All,
We would like to migrate our existing courier to dovecot. After reading
document on website and doing some tests, here are some issues we met.
1. According the the wiki, it seems to imply that once migrating from
courier to dovecot, pop3 users may "lost/forget" their download "index/
history" which cause them to download again old mails that are kept on
server side.
If this is true, it would seriously annoy our users since they always
keep old mails on server so that they can access them through webmail
interface.
Is there anyway to avoid this kind of situation?
2. Currently, we use only /etc/passwd to store our user information. Postfix
is our MTA and maildrop is MDA. Quota settings were wriiten in the
maildirsize file reside under Maildir directory at everyone's home.
The command we use to set user quota:
/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -q 315000000S Maildir
After installing a test environment using dovecot v1.1.beta13, we found
that it
does not read the quota settings from the maildirsize file, instead, it
only rely on the
system wide settings. This could be a problem since we have different
quota
settings for different groups of users. Is this a bug of v1.1? Or should
I
use v1.0 instead? Will v1.1 fix this bug in the future?
Best regards,
Tim Chen
